DISCUSSION

If your part is the source part of this link-source object, you can call this method to determine when your part should update the content of this link-source object.

If this method returns true, your part should update this link-source object whenever the source content is changed. If it returns false, your part should update this link-source object when the user clicks the Update Now button in the Link Source Info dialog box. (Whenever your part updates this link-source object, it should also call the ContentUpdated method.)

The update mode can be changed by the SetAutoUpdate method.
